CMU-Qatar Hazardous Wastes Disposal
*Disposal of wastes with no added hazardous chemicals is by autoclaving at 121 degrees Celsius for 60min at steam pressure = 1 bar (14.504 psig) – Program 6 (P6) in the RAYPA autoclave in Lab 2033.
*Proper "kill" is ensured by using the Biological Indicator strips.
*Autoclaved waste is then placed into cardboard boxes and disposed as ordinary waste.
*Autoclaving of wastes is done regularly.
*Disposal of wastes with hazardous chemicals is c/o Qatar Petroleum Hazardous Waste Treatment Center (contractor). Same as how chemical and chemically contaminated wastes are disposed. See details in the next slides.

•Broken Glasses / Empty Propane Canisters / Empty Chemical Bottles / Sharps
Sharps wastes
CMU-Qatar Hazardous Wastes Disposal
*Inform Maria Navarro if you have any of these waste in your laboratories. Waste containers for glass/sharps are available upon request.
*Waste pick-up is scheduled at the end of each term.
*Disposal is c/o Qatar Foundation thru Boom Waste Treatment Company (contractor).
*License disposal has to be applied every 6 months to Ministry of Environment).

•Chemical and Chemically contaminated wastes

*All wastes are segregated and properly stored in plastic waste containers. Liquid wastes should be stored in plastic carboys and solid wastes in open mouth plastic containers.
*Waste containers are available upon request.
*Waste pick-up is scheduled at the end of each term.
*Disposal is c/o Qatar Petroleum Hazardous Waste Treatment Center (contractor).
*The waste contractor has profiled four (4) waste streams for CMU-Q. Each specific waste is reviewed and grouped under the proper waste stream.
*Examples of wastes we have disposed in the past.
